Lyrics:

I have my reasons, and they wonder why
So there's a few tears, and sometimes I cry
I ain't no different than any other girl
My man is the same as every man in the world
Yet I'm not alone, and I'm gonna hold on
To what I've got, uh-huh
To what I've got

Now he's so sweet, and he's so kind
The gentlest man a girl could ever find
Like everyone else, we fuss and fight
But there's nothing like making up all through the night
(Through the night, through the night)
I love him so, and everyone should know I wanna hold on
Girl, Claudine's gonna hold on, uh-huh
He's looking out the side of his eye
At every girl who passes him by
Girl, hold on (Hold him, hold him)
You're asking too much, uh-huh
Allow him to look, so long as he doesn't touch
'Cause you're no different than any other girl
Your man is the same as every man in the world
(Don't destroy) A man you don't destroy
(He's not a boy) But he's not a boy
So girl, hold on
(Hold on) I wanna hold on, hold on, hold on
(Hold on) Uh-huh
A precious love, I must imply
Cannot be kept from guy to guy
Girl, hold on (Hold him, hold him, hold him)
Girl, hold on, uh-huh, ha, yeah
Like everyone else, we fuss and fight
But there's nothing like making up all through the night
(Through the night, through the night)
I love him so, and everyone oughta know I wanna hold on
Girl, Claudine, you better hold on, uh-huh
A precious love, I must imply
Cannot be kept from guy to guy
Girl, hold on (Hold him, hold him, hold him)
You're asking too much
Allow him to look, so long as he doesn't touch
'Cause you're no different than any other girl
Your man is the same as every man in the world
(Don't destroy) A man you don't destroy
(He's not a boy) He's not a boy
Girl, hold on
(Hold on) Claudine, girl, you better hold on
(Hold on) If you want to
Try real hard to keep it, keep it
(You ought to open your eyes) Open your eyes
No sleeping, sleeping
(You've got to) Hold on (Hold on, hold on)
Hold on, girl, you better hold on
(You've got to hold on)
If you want to
Try real hard to keep it, keep it
(You ought to open your eyes) Open your eyes
No sleeping, sleeping
(You've got to) Hold on (Hold on, hold on)
Claudine, you better hold on (You've got to hold on)
If you wanna
Try real hard to keep it, keep it
(You ought to open your eyes) Open your eyes
No sleeping, sleeping
